What did you do Maria Marimacha?
The story begins in Lima, Peru in a small town in a rural area, where people knew each other and enjoyed every little thing they got. A girl named Maria Marimacha lived with her mother and siblings. They spent their time helping each other with financial needs; since the age of 8, Maria was sent to work to sell candy in buses and the streets of Lima. It wasn’t unusual for kids to start working at a young age, and Maria had the responsibility to work twice as hard to provide for her family, so they can have a meal every day. Maria’s mom would also work all day doing the same thing, they didn’t always receive a lot but when they did they had more than rice and water for dinner.
